Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Lets mess with the police...

First cop I ever outran was on a KX80. And it was a piece of cake.


Travis

And cops aren't?

Your point?

Why didn't you pull over when lawfully ordered to do so?

I can't think of a department or agency that doesn't have that policy.


Travis

its pure horseshit to say that whatever happens as a result of the offender running from the law is his responsibility.

Too many scenarios where the public would be in danger by a high speed chase where the original crime being broken is meaningless.

not to mention that letting that rider go would just mean he'd could probably be caught again next week riding down the same road.

another aspect of that situation is if the officer made the decision to continue the chase on the dirt roads, lost control of the car and smacked into a tree, the rider would be held responsible for the policemen's poor judgement if he were to be caught. A policeman loses control of his car chasing a kid and the kid gets hit with manslaughter.

Because I feared my father more than the cop.


Travis

Unless of course he's a rapist fleeing to Mexico. But [bleep] it guys, let's just let them go.

More pussification.



Travis

Cool, so by your reckoning I should just let go any miscreant who breaks into my house at night and prowls around my wife and daughter whilst they sleep, just in case they decide to run and end up twisting their ankle.

No...I think I shall just go with my system.

No I am not kidding you!!! Cops DO NOT have the right to do whatever they want to do in the name of supporting the law. I know some good cops, and to a man I guarantee that they would not support this.

There is a great liklihood that this rider was of a young age, perhaps 16 or so. Imagine this was your kid, and he was tazered and then died from the crash that ensued for being tazered. How would you feel? Would you have thought your kid deserved what they got? Of course you wouldn't!

Again, the ATV rider was wrong, but as the trained professional in this situation the cop should have called off the chase. It simply wasn't worth it.

so now we've gone from quad riding kid to rapist or miscreant breaking into your house.

yea, I can see a rapist deciding the best way to flee the law is to jump on a quad, ride down the road and head for Mexico.

and this wasn't night, it wasn't in your home

this is the problem with LEOs - they have to make up this scenario of every citizen who is breaking some minor law as a potential Pablo Escobar just within their grasp which justifies endangering the public to apprehend the criminal mastermind.

You convinced me. When a guy flees, just let them run. Good policy.

Your campaign slogan should read "EVERYBODY GETS A VAGINA IN 2012!"


Travis

I do know how I would feel if some low-life piece of filth ran my Daughter over whilst he was joy riding....and as for the filth dying, so what.....it not like they are rare, after all they still make them.

nasty little poofter, arn't ya?

Hey, I have a question for the vagina brigade:

If a vehicle is suspected to be full of illegal immigrants should that vehicle be pursued?

Thanks in advance,
Travis

Uumm....I am not a law enforcement officer.

The original video would be one.. I doubt it's as rare as you think.

Of course the problem starts with the nanny staters making thousands of laws, but somewhere, at some point, common sense needs to be exercised on the enforcement side. This particular case is just one shining example. The ultimate solution is to stop voting in city council members who have never heard of a revenue inducing law they wouldn't support. "For the children.."

Heh heh....you sure your not an Aussie pretending to be a bloody yank.

You sneaky prick!

lets add - thru your neighborhood with your kids on bikes riding around and your wife out walking the dog

Ok.
